Overview
Set sail with the Salty Scoundrels in this swashbuckling pirate fantasy-a rollicking tale of clashing cutlasses, monsters and magic, and high seas adventure. A once-legendary pirate and his loyal crew risk uncharted waters for a chance at freedom, treasure, and glory. Captain James R. Hawk, aka Trusty Jack, and his Salty Scoundrels are do-gooder buccaneers leaving a trail of merry mayhem in their wake. Their credo: ignore the corrupt laws of the Jewel Island's greedy regent and sail the tropical seas in search of treasure, freedom, and adventure. But when the royal navy teams up with a powerful mage, Trusty Jack's sordid past catches up with him. Lost love, lost lives, and a lost ship haunt the legendary pirate, none more than Marian, his once-betrothed. That's when a cunning gnome arrives from the mainland with a daring proposal. Will Jack muster his sea dog courage and sail through the illusion-filled mists to reach a forbidden island? The ghostly horrors and powerful curse at his destination will test more than his pirate mettle. He'll have to weigh the price of gold against the risk of peril to himself, his crew, and those he loves... and face down a haunting past trailing in his wake. The Curse of Dragon Tail Island: a standalone pirate fantasy adventure.
